It was noted at the AGM that 2016 is the 125 anniversary of the club and an effort should be made to celebrate the club both on and off the field during that year. Matthew Lyttle suggested that we should form a sub committee whose sole responsibility is to organise celebrations throughout the 2016 season. If anyone from within the community or any past players are interested in volunteering for this sub committee they should contact Keith Ogle or someone within the committee.

The Players dinner will be held in the Downshire Hotel on Friday 14th November. All those wishing to attend should contact Keith Martin ASAP as places need to be confirmed with the staff at the Downshire.

With 2 wins from the last 3 games Donaghcloney 1st XI finish second in the league and gain promotion back up into Section 1. Wins over Drumeness and Victoria secured promotion going into the last week of the season. Academy needed to lose to Victoria and Cloney beat Armagh to be league champions. Unfortunately with a depleted side, Donaghcloney traveled to The Mall where Armagh proved too strong on this the last day of the season. Armagh posted 180 and Donaghcloney managed 99 in reply and it was the bowling of the experienced Davie Bullock who had figures of 5 for 13 that proved the difference in the two sides. The outcome of the match mattered little as Academy ran out easy winners against Victoria and secured the the Section 2 league title. read more…

Matt Lyttle with 6 for 32

Saturday saw Donaghcloney travel to Lurgan Park to play Victoria in a league competition for the first time in over 20 years. Donaghcloney and Victoria were both keen to win for very different reasons. Donaghcloney need to keep winning to secure promotion back into Section 1 while Victoria are at the other end of the table in a relegation dogfight with MillPark and Cooke Collegians. Donaghcloney won the toss and chose to bowl. Steven Lecky and David Marshall took the new ball and didn’t take long to strike. After 7 overs Victoria were 6 for 3 and in all sorts of problems before a strong stand between Ashmal (34) and Khan (30). Both players played some expansive shots and started to take the game away from Donaghcloney before Matthew Lyttle took his first of 6 wickets. read more…
